Before you register
How assignments work
Jobs are posted by businesses in a specific city. You see the payout, the location, the type of contact and any requirements — evening or weekend timing, an appointment, a required purchase — before you claim. Claiming is first come, first served.
When you get paid
Each job shows its payout up front. Submit the completed scorecard with comments and photos; once the submission passes its completeness check and is approved, the payout is released. Incomplete submissions are returned for the missing detail first.
What's available near you
Availability depends on businesses ordering shops in your area. Major metro areas have the most activity; smaller towns are quieter. Create your profile to see the live board for your city — there's no cost to look.
